question about how she was eiiJoy,n ,

".Hi. It

hasn't been a single accident."
Reprimanded by her motht r she
blushed apologetically and becam very
much confused, iiut she had voiced a
ireneral sentiment, the sentiment of yi)
per cent, of the people on the grounds.
Tho nctor knows this fact and in
this knovledge tal es hope, if he and his
play do not break through the m ire or
l.s Indifferent hairier of criticism
which L'eems to rlsn Just outside the
footlights. Thero is another nl:tii
And the second audience, as wefl as
those which follow for the week tl, u

the heart of the audience coming to hint
over th lights -
Kven almost unanimous criticism,
product probably of the llrst night,
cannot always 1:111 when audiences for
which the pl.iy was really written give
of their hearts.
Onco In the swing of a run, be It
long or short, the character of an
audience which began its moulding after
the opening night remains, In the main,
unchanged. K.vcept for a small propor
tion tho audience will bo receptive for
Just that which It is to receive. Tho
nctor really Is ablo to gauge the stnnd
ud of his work by tliu fulness of
lesponsa his movements and his words
Inspire-
Audiences "stae manage" the actor.
And they perform unconsciously. Act
In is a pha-so of hypnosis. The until
nco comes, pays it money and expects
Its money'H worth. Tho minds of the
jieoplo aro open. The actor, probably
portraying a rolo which Is qulto foreign
to his own character, must draw upon
his knowlcdgo nnd experience to make
this rolo nllve, so that hn may become
en rapport with the audlenco and either
fill their Ideal of tho part or Impress
his Interpretation upon his auditors,
win their support, their mind and heart
Interest.
To do this the actor must bo fit,
physically and mentally. Tho artist
keeps In training Just tho samn as tho
nthlelo does. He must do this both to
t3 able to respond to the "feeling" from
ncross the footlights which comes to
him and to sway his audience.
A few peopln In an audience cau
make many difficulties for tho nctor.
Hy their sllcnco In the midst of applause
or their enthusiasm they can do much
toward tempering the spirit of the
whole Tiouse. When such a party Is
discovered, and It does not tnko long
for tho man on tho stngo to discover It,
the actor "feels the dare" and plays
to "meet und overcome It." .
There Is always more satisfaction
Jn playing to an experienced audience
than to ono we call "out of towners."
The latter uro often dillleult to handle.
J'hey are generally restless, nnd any
uch demonstration affects the uctor's
work.
Suggestion Is usually enough for the
American audience. I like tho L'ngllsh
ntldletico as well, but on the whole
J bellovo that Americans are more re
reptive. They are no klndler to the
nctor, although tho terrible "hoo" Is
not found here. As a rule the Ameri
can goes to tho theatro seeking di
version. Tho Kngllshman takes hU
drama more seriously.

highly specialized slang Is spoken here,
the vocabulary of vaudeville being elab- (
orato and tersely expressive. A hit Is
always a "riot," while a llasco Is a "flop."
To be Jeered from tho gallery is "get

ciferously Is to 'clean up." A woman
who works all by herself Is a "single
woman." Two women woiklng to-

which no word Is spoken, as In Juggling
